The Peddler

Brandon and I met my family at the Peddler on Monday night. The food was awesome! I was so glad to get to have dinner with my family. I have the BEST family in the ENTIRE WORLD! I highly recommend The Peddler for your next special occasion.

Aunt Phyllis turned 60, and she looks like she is about 40. I hope I have her genes!

We had a "How are we going to do Christmas presents next year?" discussion, and AJ was pushing for a $50 limit instead of the $500 limit that some spoke of. AJ won. 

I love, love, love these people! 

Kelly and Ansley (and David made a guest appearance) 

Ansley is 9 months pregnant. She's due in less than two weeks, and she looks GREAT! We can't wait to meet baby Jameson!

I got a Nikon!

Brandon got me a Nikon for Christmas, and I was so excited. I took pictures of EVERYTHING. So here you have it. My pride and joy.

Diane's yarn.

Mom's house. I was being artsy.

Diane and Kel EARLY one morning.

I love this man. He is so thoughtful.

Praise Band Christmas

John and Andrea invited us over to their house for the Youth Praise Band Christmas Party. We had a lot of fun. We had good food, good chats, and good company. The boys spent most of the night shooting Nerf guns, and the girls spent most of the night chatting it up. A great time was had by all.

Garrett had a HUGE Nerf gun that requires batteries to run. It was quite impressive.

The old guys chillin' on the couch. No physical activity for these grandpas.

Precious girls.

This was right after a friendly game of Apples to Apples and right before Molly and Kinsley tried to CHEAT at MadGab because there was NO WAY that they were going to beat me.

Disney World

Cassondra and her family invited me to go to Disney World with them during Fall Break of my junior year of college. I just found these pictures from that trip and decided to post them. We had SO much fun! Thanks for letting me go with you guys!

We had a BLAST, but we were mad that math followed us all the way to Florida. We were trying to get AWAY from that!

So they made fat jokes all week because I ate SO much. 

Keith took us to eat at this WONDERFUL Italian restaurant at Epcot. It was SUCH good food.

Precious AJ waiting to ride Dumbo. We did this SEVERAL times that week. Dumbo was a hit with me and Cass and the five year old. Haha.

It's our house in the background!
We went to the Hoop-ty-doo Review. It was AWESOME. I ate about two plates of cornbread by myself. Little did we know that Josh was going to propose to Cassondra exactly one year later at this very place!

We rode SO many trolleys and trains. Had to hold on tight.

Rasta-Mickey and Princess-Minney.

Cass is a gang member. Don't hold that against her.

Probably listening to Rascal Flatts.

Southside Christian Basketball

Brandon and I spent 6 hours one evening enjoying friends, family, and basketball at Southside Christian. We are so blessed to have such wonderful youth in our church family. Go Sabres!

Susannah and her "friend" hugging during the game.

Precious Megan cheering her heart out. I love that girl!

Megan and Sarah, two of my Sunday School girls and Honorary Bridesmaids.

Susannah pouting. She's still gorgeous!

They were brave enough to do the Cha Cha Slide with the cheerleaders. I love this picture. They both have beautiful smiles!

Welcome 2009!

I was blessed to be able to spend New Years Eve with some people that I love so much! We made cookies, played games, ruined cookies, danced (if you can call it that), and had a blast together. We had so much fun welcoming 2009!

Brett, Diane, and Mac B at midnight!

This was the process of making homemade cookies that didn't turn out so well!

2-0-0-9....ready or not...here we come!

I was super happy to get to use my new Nikon! Mac B and Brett reluctantly posed for me.

Laura loved our "Burger Cookies". Aren't they so cute?
